Imagine you have a folder that consists of hundreds of subfolders which have tousands of files in them. What would you do if you need to count have files you have in total?
Resolution
Simply create a text file and add the script below in. Change file format as “bat“. Run it in Command Prompt (C:>.\countfiles.bat)
@echo off setlocal disableDelayedExpansion if "%~1"=="" (call :recurse ".") else call :recurse %1 exit /b :recurse setlocal set fileCnt=0 for /d %%D in ("%~1\*") do call :recurse "%%~fD" for /f %%A in ('dir /b /a-d "%~1\*" 2^>nul ^| find /v /c ""') do set /a fileCnt+=%%A echo "%~f1" %fileCnt% ( endlocal set /a fileCnt+=%fileCnt% ) exit /b
It will list directories with file counts. You can calculate the total by using simple Excel functions.
